You’ll need Paper, tape, and safety scissors. Ask a grown-up to help with cutting.

Dashed lines show creases. Arrows show which way to move the paper.

  2. Use a second scrap of paper for the sail. Draw and cut out a triangle with safety scissors.

  3. Fold a narrow tab along the bottom of the sail.

  4. Tape the tab to the center ridge of the boat with the sail facing forward.

  5. Decorate both sides with a boat name and stripes. Try it on a dry tabletop first.
